I am actually surprised about how you all think there is no passing power in 6th, @ basic HW speeds. If I'm cruising above 60mph, I rarely change gears, unless there is traffic.

Agree completely. I use 6th all the time.

you should never EVER use 6th gear! Its akin to driving these cars in the rain. It might melt or break.
